Citas sobre derechos humanos básicos

• La ciudadanía no ha proporcionado a los australianos indígenas la misma calidad de vida que esperan otros australianos. Los derechos humanos básicos implican salud, vivienda, educación, empleo, oportunidades económicas e igualdad ante la ley, así como respeto por la identidad cultural y la diversidad cultural. Estos derechos humanos deben poder disfrutarse, de lo contrario son gestos vacíos.

• Que hasta que la filosofía que considera a una raza superior y a otra inferior sea final y permanentemente desacreditada y abandonada: Que hasta que ya no haya ciudadanos de primera y de segunda clase en ninguna nación; que hasta que el color de la piel de un hombre no tenga más importancia que el color de sus ojos; que hasta que los derechos humanos básicos estén garantizados para todos por igual, sin distinción de raza; que hasta ese día, el sueño de una paz duradera y de la ciudadanía mundial y el imperio de la moralidad internacional no serán más que una ilusión pasajera, que se perseguirá pero nunca se alcanzará.

• I think all Americans believe in human rights. And health is an often overlooked aspect of basic human rights. And it's one that's easily corrected. The reason I say that is that many of the diseases that we treat around the world, I knew when I was a child. My mother was a registered nurse. And they no longer exist in our country.

• Una de las formas más insidiosas del miedo es la que se disfraza de sentido común o incluso de sabiduría, condenando como tontos, imprudentes, insignificantes o inútiles los pequeños actos cotidianos de valor que contribuyen a preservar el respeto del hombre por sí mismo y su dignidad humana inherente.

• It is not easy for a people conditioned by fear under the iron rule of the principle that might is right to free themselves from the enervating miasma of fear. Yet even under the most crushing state machinery courage rises up again and again, for fear is not the natural state of civilized man.

• I come out of the environment of the Deep South, where I had seen the millstone of racial discrimination weighting down my people, both the black people and the white people; and I had seen the enormous progress that we were able to make after we removed the legal restraints of a two-class society, with the whites superior and blacks inferior. So I was very convinced before I became President that basic human rights, equality of opportunity, the end of abuse by governments of their people, was a basic principle on which the United States should be an acknowledged champion.

• [White men] has the audacity to call himself even the "Leader of the Free World" while he has a country that can't even give the basic human rights to over twenty-two million of its citizens.
